Giants find themselves buried in NFC East following Eagles loss

After two weeks of the season, the NFC East looked like it might be a tight race. And while that remains true after Week 3, one team has separated themselves at the bottom of the pack: the New York Giants.

The Giants suffered a crushing 27-24 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday — a last second loss on a 61-yard field goal.

The defeat dropped Big Blue to 0-3 on the season, but perhaps even more damning, 0-2 within the division.

Here’s a look at how things currently stand entering Monday night:

Philadelphia Eagles (2-1)

As noted, the Eagles dropped the Giants in their home opener on Sunday, giving them their second win of the season — both wins coming within the division with the first coming over the Redskins in Week 1. Their sole loss, a 27-20 defeat in Week 2, came at the hands of the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs.

Washington Redskins (2-1)

After falling to the Eagles in Week 1, the Redskins have now reeled off consecutive wins — a 27-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and an impressive 27-10 beating of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday night.

Dallas Cowboys (1-1)

After defeating the Giants in Week 1 of the regular season, the Cowboys were absolutely manhandled by the Denver Broncos in Week 2. However, they have an opportunity to rebound from that 42-17 beating on Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

New York Giants (0-3)

The Giants, now basement dwellers in the NFC East, not only face the uphill battle of overcoming an 0-3 start, but must also overcome an 0-2 start within the division. Their last second loss to Philadelphia in Week 3 may turn out to be back-breaking.
